Apple also announced, or perhaps didn’t, a Bluetooth headset for the iPhone. They make mention of it on the iPhone site, but don’t link or show any pics. We picked this up from CNet. Looks small and sleek, but not much more is known.

The folks at DigitalTrends take a quick look (video) at the Jabra BT325S, which enables you to receive cell phone calls while listening to your MP3 player on any headphones of your choice. We’ve seen devices like this before, but this is the first we’ve seen come from a major player such as Jabra. The device connects to your phone via Bluetooth and when a call is received the BT325S fades out your music allowing you to answer and speak to the caller via a built-in microphone. The device is water resistant (light sprinkles), expect about 8 hours of talk time, and compatible with any 3.5mm headphone jack.
Available at Amazon for $60.

Lately battery development has focused on creating a more efficient and longer lasting battery. Little thought has gone into how to make these battery dependent devices more efficient and ultimately suck down less energy. After all, a collaboration of both efforts would produce twice the results. Fortunately, a team of researchers from the University of Rochester, headed by Professor Hui Wu, say they’ve developed a circuit for use in cell phones and wireless devices that uses far less energy then today’s.
You’re probably asking yourself how does all this relate to battery life? Well, current wireless devices utilize a clock generated by a circuit called “phase-lock loopâ€? which enables devices to communicate on exactly the right frequency. Although this “circuitâ€? is just one of many culprits that sucks down vital battery juice – the transmitter and microprocessor eat more power – it is constantly on. The team’s new circuit, “Divide by Odd Number ILFD (injection locked frequency divider)â€? uses far less energy to transmit and reduces energy consumption to a radical 10%.Â

The Bluepearls BP7G Bluetooth headset for women, comes in 7 different finishes with 9 interchangeable face plates, and weighs a mere 7.9 grams. The V1.2 compatible headset supports 18 hours of continues talk, 500 hours of standby, and includes a ‘Powerbank’ cradle for charging. Clearly the catch here isn’t so much functionality or originality, but the target demo. Available for $80.

Although details are scarce, it looks like Motorola’s new Bluetooth headset, the S7, can be easily attached to a pair of sunglasses. Additional details are expected soon, so yes, we’ll do our best to keep you in the loop. We know…the pic resembles the Thump Oakleys that we featured a while back.
